Final Assembly
Parts
1 1/2 inch PVC (Lowes has 2' pieces pre-cut)
flat end cap
coupler from pipe to threaded end
threaded end cap
barrel thread in 1/4 20 (I think that's what it's called.)
Velcro with adhesive back.
Krylon green spray camo paint
The battery holder has to have the corners sanded a bit to fit but once you do it works fine. I already have the switch installed on the side and the threads were plenty long to go through the pvc and still have enough left for the guard and nut.
The motor shaft and screw holes are on 1/2 centers. The motor is mounted to the endcap using the motor mount screws. the end cap needs counter sunk holes or sanded down thinner for the short screws.
I opted for a shorter critter and cut the spring considerably shorter.
the end result is no different in sound or vibration than the original however I would not make the conversion unless the original is beyond repair. total time about an hour for the conversion.
Hope this helps
